Description: First Edition; Cr. 4to; pp. ix, 94; 28 b/w. illustrations, 1 family tree, appendix, bibliography; rebound in full black leather, title lettered in gilt on spine, light foxing to first and last few pages, otherwise a very good copy. Armadale, Vic; A.E. Lawrence; 1985. Three first-generation Australians, John Samuel and Herbert Davies and their cousin, T.N. Flight, played a significant role in the story of irrigation in Victoria, New South Wales and Western Australia. Although this book is primarily the story of the senior partner of the firm of Davies Brothers, John Herbert, and his family, it is a tribute to the many early contractors who were so largely responsible for Australia's development as a productive and prosperous country.
